After years of promoting abortion around the world and spending billions of leftist political causes, George Soros is giving his son Alex Soros control of his $25 billion empire. And Alex is even more radical than his father.
Leftist billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Policy Center “quietly” spewed $140 million “to advocacy organizations and ballot initiatives in 2021,” which is in addition to the over $170 million he “personally” spent to bolster Democratic candidates and campaigns in the 2022 midterm elections. It gets worse.
CNBC noted that the new numbers bring Soros’ multimillion-dollar agenda to buy up elections and political influence to roughly $500 million since January 2020.
“The donations bring Soros’ contributions to political campaigns and causes since January 2020 to roughly half a billion dollars — at the least,” CNBC analyzed. “[M]ost of [the funding was] steered through dark money nonprofit groups and going largely toward political causes aligned with Democratic Party.” Soros reportedly doled out another “$138 million to advocacy groups and causes in 2020.
George Soros previously said he didn’t want any of his five children to take over from him, per Axios. But in a father-son interview with the Wall Street Journal published Sunday, the pair confirm that the board of Soros’ nonprofit Open Society Foundations elected Alex Soros to replace his father as chairman in December, and that the younger Soros is also now president of Soros’ super PAC.
He is also on the investment committee overseeing Soros Fund Management, which plans to direct most of its $25 billion to OSF while reserving $125 million for the super PAC.
Axios notes it’s not yet clear “whether Alex Soros is as interested in the hedge-fund side of the operation as his father,” but as for the philanthropy and political contributions, Alex makes it clear that he is just as interested in backing liberal causes as his father. In fact, “I’m more political,” he tells the Journal, and plans to embrace causes including voting and abortion rights. “As much as I would love to get money out of politics, as long as the other side is doing it, we will have to do it, too,” he adds.
Soros’ sphere of influence is not limited to just the American political scene in isolation. The billionaire also poured a fortune into media organizations around the world to help infuse the global political landscape with his leftist ideology.
MRC Business released a groundbreaking report Dec. 6, 2022 documenting Soros’ financial ties to 253 journalism and activist media groups across the world. These groups wield massive power over the flow of information in national and international politics. So not only is Soros spending hundreds of millions of dollars to elect his radical candidates, he’s also ensuring that the global media amplify his radical leftist messaging on issues including abortion, Marxist economics, anti-Americanism, defunding the police, environmental extremism and LGBT fanaticism to help secure the political outcomes he desires.
His massive leftist influence is why a majority of Americans have a negative view of Soros. But in Alex Soros they will have a new villain to oppose.
